Strong negotiation skills and demonstrated good knowledge of the market.

From start to finish, working with Steve, Elise and Mitch was an absolute pleasure. They made the entire process of selling our home feel straightforward and stress‑free, keeping us well informed and supported at every step. Their professionalism, clear communication and genuine care gave us complete confidence to place our trust in them. What really stood out was how seamlessly they worked together and how committed they were to achieving the best possible outcome for us. Their strategy, advice and market knowledge delivered an outstanding result that exceeded our expectations. We couldn’t recommend Steve, Elise and Mitch more highly. We would absolutely sell our home with them again and encourage anyone looking for a team they can truly trust to do the same.

During our hunt for our first home, we went to three months' worth of viewings across Wellington, talking to many different agents. None compare to the Sotheby's team. Our first of three offers was through Mitch, and the service and communication was amazing. Mitch is knowledgable, quick to respond, and very professional while maintaining an approachable and friendly style. We went through another agency for our second offer and were very disappointed by the lack of communication and property knowledge, and found the process stressful. Finally, back to the team at Sotheby's for the third-time's-the-charm offer. Mitch, Steve, and Elyse are excellent to work with; they made our offer work on a very tight turnaround that required them to work Saturday and evenings, and have been great with all the follow-ups since the offer was accepted. The team works well together to provide the best service possible. An easy 5 stars.

Steve, Elise and Mitch have a very strong knowledge of this area and what the market conditions are

From the first time we met Jules at what is now our first home, we were impressed with his professionalism and easy going nature. As we progressed with the offer process we found Jules to be super helpful and communicative, without being pushy at all, which we really appreciated. We felt like he was genuine in his dealings with us and that we could trust him. We're super happy in our new place and would recommend Jules to anyone.

Andrea was highly knowledgeable about the market and the house sale process. Excellent communication, and worked hard for our sale.

Working with Steve Rodwell, Mitchell Sedgwick, and Elise Boulieris—collectively known as "The Smart Choice"—was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Their attention to detail was second to none, and their strategic approach made every step feel purposeful and well-considered. Steve, Elise, and Mitch demonstrated outstanding market knowledge, offering insights that were both timely and tailored to my situation. They clearly know the landscape inside and out, and their advice reflected a deep understanding of current trends and buyer behavior. Communication was seamless—responsive, clear, and proactive. Whether it was a quick update or a more complex discussion, they were always available and incredibly professional. I never felt left in the dark, and their ability to explain things in a straightforward, confident manner made the process smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for a team that combines expertise, strategy, and genuine care for your outcome, Steve, Elise & Mitch truly are The Smart Choice. Highly recommended.

We absolutely loved dealing with Marina and Wayne. Professional yet friendly, thorough and organized, they are experts in their field. Very good sense of humor too :))

This is the second house David has sold for me. On both occasions he has made the selling process easy. He has strong knowledge of the market and the type of buyers that could be interested. He developed a strong marketing campaign to attract potential buyers. David's advice on how to present the house in the best way was invaluable. He has excellent communication skills and provided reassurance when it was needed. David is friendly, available and always willing to answer questions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Dealing with Tom was an absolute pleasure. Always making sure that I was informed with how things progressed and any feedback regarding my house sale. Willing to go the extra mile to not only save me money, but to also make the experience as easy as possible. thank team
